Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will make an appearance in the highly anticipated film “The Dark Knight Rises,” the AP reports.
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee reportedly made the cut in a scene involving Christian Bale, who plays Batman, and Morgan Freeman. For Leahy, the cameo is a reprisal of sorts. The senator, an avid Batman fan, appeared in the 2008 phenomenon “The Dark Knight.” Leahy’s appearance in that movie occurred in a memorable scene during which the Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, crashes a party.
